In Canada, fuel stations in rural areas have two diesel pumps: for highway and off-highway (i.e. farm) use. The untaxed farm diesel is dyed purple and the taxed highway diesel is clear. And yes, there are major fines if you get caught with clear diesel in a non-farm vehicle. Although I have heard a few (probably false) stories of how use sunlight and clear containers to destroy the dye.
This is true; however, the end result is that an agreement was reached that the US is complying with. This tends to indicate that the US does indeed respect the WTO arbitration process.
Yeah, the Canadians finally agreed to an settlement that was vastly one-sided after the US made it plain that they would not be complying with any ruling against them. That's like saying that muggers respect the law because you *agree* to give them your wallet.
I think Canada Post used to offer this service also. I only received one and it was before the general adoption of email. Unfortunately I can't find a link to describe it.
I think the same sort of thing happened in GTA3 for the PC. If you applied the no CD crack, then your performance went WAY up. In that case, Rockstar applied some parts of the patch to the next official release.
I wonder if Rockstar cleared the copyrights on the patch?
Pickup trucks are a better target because most fleets (e.g. utilities) use them more than cars, and fleets often have more predictable fueling requirements than personal vehicles.
It's already being done. Been to Disney lately? Their trams and many other vehicles arlready run on natural gas. Same with the National Park Service in some areas. You probably have an LP tank sitting there under your back yard BBQ grill. When was the last time you heard of one of these blowing up?
The "L" in LP is "liquid". It must first vapourize and mix with air before it can burn or explode.
I'm not saying that CNG is inherently unsafe, but it is an entirely different storage problem than propane which has a vapour pressure on the order of hundreds of psi, compared to typical CNG storage pressures in the thousands.
do you know what its like to have your phd work sold off to the higest bidder
I've had two projects stolen out from under me by my university and they did one worse: they sat on them and refused to allow me or anyone else to commercialize or patent them. And for one of them I even had a company lined up to commercialize the technology and was willing to pay back 50% of all profits to the university.
Except we in Canada have the right to download copyrighted media. By paying the blank media tax on all recordable media, we are granted license to fill said media with movies and music that we didn't buy: that's where that extra tax has been going, the Canadian Private Copying Collective.
I find it funny that the tariff is 21 cents on a CD-R but an identical CD-R labeled "Audio" has a tariff of 77 cents. Although I know my local computer store sells 50 CD-R discs for $12 (24 cents each), leading me to believe that there must be some loopholes.
Wouldn't the first step for a rootkit developer be to add rkhunter and chkrootkit to their list of trojaned programs so that they give a "no rootkit" output? Maybe there's some protection from this, but I don't see it in the article.
If you're a carpenter and make a great chair it doesnt pass into the public domain, but you cannot prevent your neighbour from making a chair just like it, nor do you have the right to prevent anyone who purchases the chair to pay another carpenter to copy it.
You most certainly can prevent your neighbour from copying it, in exactly the same way as with artistic works: don't publish. If you never let your neighbour see the chair he can't copy it.

There's a very popular case study in business school about Coke and Pepsi, and how they're both very happy with approximately 49% of the market. People think they have a real "choice". Neither one has to worry about "monopolies". And, they already know each other. It's a fake battle to make people think that they actually have a choice, all the while, both parties are very happy with half of a FUCKING HUGE pie.
Another major part of the case study is that Coke and Pepsi have mutual marketing schemes of attacking each other exclusively. The ads imply that Pepsi is the only competitor worthy of Coke's attacks and everyone forgets the hundreds of other cola options that are essentially the same. I think there's probably a political parallel.
We have a transportation source that produces less C02 (and a lot less methane) per trip than having one horse per person would, and it doesn't impinge burden on the world's food supply. Again, cars are the clean option.
I won't dispute your overall point that cars may be cleaner than horses, but these two examples don't really come into play. Horses are CO2 neutral as the carbon in their diet came from the atomosphere (like biodiesel, ethanol etc). And the world has an overall excess of food production capacity, it's logistical and (mainly) political problems that prevent distribution of this excess to the starving.
We proudly present the results of the evaluation of the ultra airport security system. During the evaluation, no acts of terrorism were committed in this airport. Clearly, the system is a great success and well worth the investment. We recommend the system to be kept in place and be installed in other airports and public places, as well.

One other security issue: my webmail is encrypted between the mail server and my computer. Not so with most desktop email clients.

Seeing as copyright infringement is a civil matter, I think the question should be "are there any damages to sue for?"
That didn't stop them from picking a product that won't be generally released until NEXT year...

It is impossible to exaggerate the greatness of my hyperbolic chamber!!!
I'd hardly call two examples in the history of science to be "often".
